Senior setter Brayden Hipp is atop the league with 9.92 assists per set and owns the most total assists with 903. Her total assists mark is 42nd in the country.
Hipp's 60-assist performance in the victory at Memphis last week is tied for the 18th-most assists in a 5-set match nationwide.
Her 44-assist showing at UAB is the 23rd-most assists by a single player in a 3-set match in the country.

Hanson is currently No. 8 on the league's blocking list with 1.09 blocks per set.
Junior libero Lauren Patterson is holding steady at eighth in the American for digs (318) and digs per set (3.74).

Tulsa Thriving on Balanced Attack

Freshman outside hitter Maegan Mills averages 2.20 kills, while freshman middle Jill Hanson currently has 2.18 kills per set.
Much of this is due to brilliant passing by senior setter Brayden Hipp, who's been distributing the ball evenly through nine weeks of play.

Four players average two or more digs per set, with junior libero Lauren Patterson ranking eighth in the conference with 3.62 digs per set.

She is the sixth Tulsa head coach to accomplish that feat and the fifth-fastest to reach that mark.
She's currently 56-32 (.628) entering this weekend's action.
Ramatowski also surpassed 18 wins this season. She's hit that mark in all three seasons leading the Golden Hurricane.

Hipp Reaches 2,000 Assists and 1,000 Digs During Florida Trip
